What people are saying about Ledston Luck.
"A gritty and uncompromising book with an unforgettable main character. Gripping, fast-paced and spiced with dark humour."
Elly Griffiths - author of the Ruth Galloway series
"Andrew writes with a wry sense of humour that bubbles just below the surface, although dark humour also runs through the heavily-detailed book. The detailing shows his experience as a senior CSI. But cleverly blended into the story so that it doesn't come across as a police manual.
There is so much anger coming off Eddie Collins, the main character.
He is belligerent, boastful, and arrogant. (Eddie's own words). He make enemies easily but once he has a puzzle to solve, or a death, there is no one more guaranteed to get to the bottom of it than Eddie Collins. In a job he is dedicated to, he is determined there will only ever be one winner. Justice.
For him, the dead come before the living."
Robin Roughley - author of the DS Lasser series
"Andrew Barrett weaves an intricate tale of deceit and torment. Absolutely brilliant instalment in the Eddie Collins series and well worth a read."
KA Richardson - author of The North East Police series
~If you only read one novel this year make sure it's this one
~I loved this book partly because it is set very close to home, but mostly because it is so very well written and sticks to the hands like glue until it is finished!
~Ledston Luck is a truly gripping crime book
~It's a story that will have you feeling a whole array of emotions whilst leaving your heart racing and feeling breathless
~This book's packed with action but there's room for thoughtful contemplation, too
~Eddie is such a well-drawn character that it is easy to feel all the emotions he's going through. At times I was in tears
~Totally engrossed in from page 1
~So much tension and edge-of-the-seat moments to keep your attention, this is a real sleep stealer of a book that I read in a day it was that gripping
~The main character, Eddie Collins who works in CSI, is a character that I fell in love with.
~Attention to detail is excellent, as well as procedure.
~Another brilliant book from one of my favourite authors
